First, one needs to realize that Donald Trump is a master negotiator and a public relations expert. This means that you always ask for more than you are willing to settle for, and that any Republican Presidential candidate has to be able to pierce the liberal media veil in order to communicate with voters. Examples:
1. "Ban all Muslims from entering the U.S." (Obviously, this doesn't apply to returning citizens.) What Trump would likely settle for is banning Muslims unless/until we can be reasonably assured that they have no connection to or sympathies for radical Islamic terrorists.
2, "Deport all illegal aliens." What Trump would likely settle for is mandatory registration and background checks before being allowed to stay here, with stiff mandatory penalties for those who return after deportation.
3. "Make Mexico pay for a wall." This means that Mexico will have to greatly increase its border security or else face economic penalties that will pay for a wall to be built by us.
I am not trying to water down his policies, but rather put them in the context of what he would actually be able to do if he was President. Thoughts/comments?
